That would be wonderful! But a lot of work.
What I have only just remembered is that I managed to hack IE to email a
link using the sendto menu.
The hard part was to get Outlook to act as a command line mailer. I seem to
rememeber that I had
to use a "Form" to do it.
The .bat file that Iinvoked from SendTo has this in it:
@"c:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook" /c ipm.note.bookmark
/a "%1"
I assume that ipm.note.bookmark was a form that sent the link as the subject
line to
my home.
To make this "sane" I need a little DOS SMTP client really, any suggestions?
LDAP seems to be the way to go for the address book. A play over the weekend
methinks.
